I've asked these questions before about Japanese, but have not gotten
much in the way of answers.  Hopefully the more there are of us out there,
the more likely someone with development skills will step in.  If you use
Xwindows, it should be fairly easy to use Chinese with gui tools.

My impression is that NetBSD lags pretty far behind Linux (and I guess
FreeBSD, too, from what you say) when it comes to CJK on the cui (character
user interface).  In order to use Japanese on NetBSD I need to recompile
pretty much all of the text handling tools like sed, gawk, grep and vi.
I've never tried finding an ls that would work with CJK since I find the
WWW browser Lynx very convenient to use for viewing and manipulating files
which have been named in Japanese.  I *think* it may work for you with
Chinese, too.  Usually I change these files to ascii names right away,
however, since it is so inconvenient to work with them on NetBSD.

Keep in touch and report any successes you have.  Thanks.
